Hp 3830 password reset

[foxx74 · Accepted solution]

I don't know exactly how it worked , but I managed to do a factory default reset.  Give the printer a new password and all other problems with autendication stuff mysteriously went away.  The procedure  is  different from what you suggested, I will be happy to post it on your request. HP print and scan doctor  5.0 fixed the wireless connection problem .

  I don't know how to Thank  for  all your help,  your are a great asset to this community

I have an HP OfficeJet 3830 printer and having a problem with the admin password not working, I read the forum and other people are having the same issue and they were sent instructions on how to do a semi-factory reset in order to clear the password, Would you please send me these instructions?  What I am trying to accomplish is to assign a Static IP address to this printer but I get asked for the user name and password. I use "admin" as the user name but no passwords work. Please help

Thanks

Bill
